I’m writing this after watching an 80-second video of an Italian cat saving shots taken with a full-sized football in a hallway, even though he’s only got little arms.

It was impressive stuff, but he didn’t catch a single ball and the question remains of whether he can do it at Empoli on a mild Wednesday night in September?

Then there are all the memes that are doing the rounds on WhatsApp. Like the one of Wayne Rooney sat at table homeschooling with his lad saying ‘you’re doing really well, dad’.

Speaking of Bluenoses, a mate of mine resorted to watching a video of Everton‘s greatest Merseyside derby wins at 9.30am on Thursday. I texted him at 10.15am to see where he was up to? ‘Dion Dublin is just showing the stairs leading up to the bedroom,’ he replied.

It’s also great to see Liverpool’s players doing their bit on social media. I don’t know about you, but watching Gini Wijnaldum doing keepy-ups with a toilet roll was particularly fascinating.
